George, Biggest issue we have found is the ESFR obstruction rules do not mix well with a manufacturing environment.

There will be some rack storage, but mostly manufacturing. Without the large fire plume usually associated with rack storage being absent cause a problem with activation of the ESFR? 40' roof, maybe slightly higher (yes, expensive couple of feet possible requiring K25's) Owner is self-insured, generally risk aversive, the now rare breed that actually wants it done "correctly" although money is not to be ignored. We'd like to advise if this could present problems with adequate protection levels. I know this was touched on briefly, but its one of those weird eves when email works but internet doesn't. maybe its on strike in sympathy? George L.
